We emphasize a strong integration between the specific needs of our clients and the particular qualities of a site. We strive to maintain a balance between each client’s lifestyle or business, appropriate technologies, energy efficiency, and budget constraints. We believe in listening to our clients, implementing thoughtful designs, and conforming to an estimated construction cost.
We have had the privilege of working on a variety of projects over the past 30+ years, including ecclesiastical, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential projects. We know how to navigate the overlapping requirements of the zoning, building, and energy codes; ADA standards for barrier-free design; and the environmental review process in order to assist you in using your property to its maximum potential. Our track record demonstrates a strong commitment to responding sensitively to existing site constraints and thoughtfully incorporating views, access, orientation, historical context, and overall scale into our designs.
We pride ourselves on our ability to work with the owner, contractor, and consultants to best achieve a high quality finished product. We are committed to a collaborative team approach with contractors on all of our projects. We approach design pragmatically, relying on the experience of contractors to assist us in achieving our primary goal of a well-designed project for an economic cost. Many of our referrals originate from contractors we have worked with in the past, who appreciate the completeness of our construction documents and our realistic approach to design and construction.
